Quilled blackberries for a new card design

Well, I've made a card using the first of the three photographs I posted yesterday. While I was away, I decided to try introducing more white space around the pictures I use for my cards, so that's exactly what I've done here, and I think it works well. As for the quilling - it just had to be berries! At this time of year, the hedgerows in the Isles of Scilly are vibrant with the red and purple hues of blackberries at different stages of their ripening, offset perfectly by green bramble leaves and the brilliant blues of sea and sky. So this card is my tribute to the incomparable beauty of autumn in the islands.

About Me

I believe that quilling has almost limitless artistic potential. That's why I combine it with digital graphics, seal it in resin, use it to make jewellery ... and much more besides! I'm constantly looking for new ways to push the boundaries of traditional quilling techniques. I write magazine articles about quilling, I teach quilling workshops, and am also an enthusiastic committee member of the Quilling Guild.
